AMS Received 200 Reports of Meteor Sightings Over Illinois and Other States

18/01/2018

The weather service by about 9 p.m. had already received dozens of reports, ranging from Flint to Toledo.

In the case of the MI meteoroid, NASA's Cooke said, "there are probably meteorites on the ground in southeast MI right now".

The shaking wasn't exaggerated, either-the U.S. Geological Service registered a 2.0 magnitude quake in that area last night. The nonprofit American Meteor Society tracks fireballs for study purposes and shares the data with the public and various organizations. Bill Cooke with NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office told The Detroit News Wednesday morning it was "definitely a meteoroid" and a rare sight for MI.

The object caused a stir on social media after it went hurtling over the Great Lakes with a bright flash. That rich influx of oxygen is what escalates things from mild streak to "airburst", a term Bergin said is more or less interchangeable with the more colloquial "fireball" (experts, including NASA, use both).

According to the American Meteor Society, aside from MI, the meteor was also visible in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and even in Canada. A meteor shower is simply several samller meteors passing through the earths upper atmosphere. The group suggested pieces of the meteor may even be found in MI.

People across MI reported seeing a bright flash in the sky Tuesday evening.

Even larger chunks of space rock only make it so far into the atmosphere before they explode, raining smaller debris down over the area. Some people nearby reported hearing a sonic boom. "But fortunately, homeowners insurance policies would cover damage resulting from a meteor or its pieces".

NASA Meteor Watch issued an update on the eye-catching event, saying the space rock was very slow and moved at about 28,000 miles per hour (45,000 kph). For comparison, the very large Chelyabinsk meteor that exploded over western Russian in February 2013, causing property damage and injuries, was about 20 meters across and was moving at more than 40,000 miles per hour.

Picking the right moment as the applause died down, she added with flair, "Their time is up", bringing the crowd to a new ovation. The theme prevailed throughout the night, both on the red carpet and during the ceremony itself, though with mixed results .
